Co-author Klarna, Inc. offers online shoppers the opportunity to purchase products and, free of any interest or fees, repay Klarna for the balance in regular instalments. Najah Edmundson used those services in 2021, and Klarna collected the instalments from her checking account shortly thereafter. Edmundson’s account balance, however, was deficient at the time of collection, so the financial institution associated with her checking account levied overdraft fees. Edmundson then brought suit against Klarna, asserting various consumer-law claims.
